Chicken Wings in Side — Grilled Wings & Buffalo Wings to Share | Hawaii Restaurant & Bar

Some nights you don't want a whole plate to yourself. You want something you can pull apart with your hands, pass around the table, and eat while the game's on. In the heart of Side old town, that plate is chicken wings — and at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar we actually serve two versions, so you can dial in exactly the vibe you're after.

Here's the honest rundown of what's on the menu, how the two wing options differ, and why they've quietly become one of the most-shared starters at our tables on 512. Sk.

Two kinds of wings — pick your heat

We list wings in two different places on the menu, and the distinction matters when you order.

Classic Chicken Wings (Starters)

These live in our Starters section — the crowd-pleaser. Straightforward, savoury, cooked to be crisp on the outside and juicy inside, they're the wings you order when the table just wants something moreish to nibble while the drinks arrive. No fireworks, no mystery — just a proper plate of wings that works for kids and adults alike. If you're building a shared spread, they slot in perfectly alongside our other starters and meze.

Buffalo Chicken Wings (Mexican)

Over in the Mexican section you'll find Buffalo Chicken Wings — the punchier cousin. This is the tangy, spiced style that fans of American-diner wings come looking for when they search "buffalo wings Side." How much heat do they carry? That depends on your palate, so the honest answer is: ask your waiter. Our kitchen would rather tell you straight than have you order something too fiery — or not fiery enough. It's the natural pick if you're already leaning into a Mexican night with fajitas, nachos and quesadillas.

Short version: want easy and family-friendly? Go classic Chicken Wings. Want tang and kick? Go Buffalo Chicken Wings. Order both and let the table decide.

Wings + the match: our favourite combination

Wings and sport belong together, and this is where Hawaii comes into its own. We run live sport screens — football through the season, Formula 1 race weekends, and hockey when it's on. There's no better starter to have in front of you when kick-off arrives than a plate of wings you can eat without taking your eyes off the screen. If you're planning your evening around a fixture, see what we've got on for live football and Formula 1.

One genuine tip: our Happy Hour runs daily from 19:00 to 20:00 on selected drinks. Time your arrival so you're settling in with wings and a cold one right as it starts — a beer or a cocktail while you wait for the game to begin is exactly the point. (That's the one scheduled event we run; we don't do a fixed weekly "wing night," so don't come chasing a calendar that doesn't exist — just come when it suits you, we're open daily 10:00 to 02:00.) More on the timing in our happy hour guide.

Build a proper sharing spread

Wings rarely travel alone. To turn a starter into a full table graze, add a couple of things from the menu that are made for sharing:

• Onion rings — crisp, golden, and impossible to stop at one.
• Garlic bread — the reliable table anchor everyone reaches for.
• Chicken soup or tomato soup — if someone at the table wants something warm to start.
• A Greek or Season's salad — to keep things fresh alongside the fried bits.

That combination — wings, rings, garlic bread, drinks — is the unofficial Side-old-town match-day starter, and it feeds a group without anyone having to commit to a big main straight away. If a wider chicken craving hits later, our chicken dishes guide walks through everything from grilled fillets to curries.

Good for families, groups and takeaway too

Wings are one of those plates that works for absolutely everyone. Bring the kids — the classic wings are mild and there's a full children's menu plus alcohol-free kids' cocktails if the little ones want their own drink. Planning a bigger get-together? Wings are a natural opener for group dinners and birthdays, where a few sharing plates get the table talking before the mains land.

Prefer to eat in tonight? Takeaway is always available, and we deliver to nearby areas — wings are one of the better travellers on the menu, still good by the time they reach the sofa. Details on takeaway and delivery.
